Kraft Recalls Knudsen and Other Cottage Cheese Due to Storage Issues

Kraft Foods is voluntarily recalling multiple cottage cheese brands due to ingredients not being stored at proper temperatures.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states that the risk is 'unlikely' and describes it as a voluntary precautionary measure regarding temperature storage, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

Plain-English summary

Kraft Foods Group is voluntarily recalling 18 SKUs of Knudsen Cottage Cheese, nine SKUs of Breakstone's Cottage Cheese, five SKUs of Simply Kraft Cottage Cheese, and two SKUs of Daily Chef Cottage Cheese. These products were produced at the company's manufacturing facility in Tulare, California.

The recall was initiated because some ingredients used in these products were not stored in accordance with Kraft's temperature standards. The company notes that while it is unlikely, this condition could create an environment conducive to bacterial growth.

Consumers who have purchased these products should check their pantries for the specific brands and SKUs listed in the official recall notice. If found, consumers should discard the products or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
